DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder VS GP2040

This

Microcontroller: Arduino pro micro clone. Sells for peanuts on Ali Express. I have no coding experiennowledge. I tried to use this guide, but it only made the controller show up as a generic controller on windows/Linux. SF6 Didn't recognise the controller. So I programmed the Arduino as a keyboard and now it works fine on PC and Steam Deck.

I've had a great experience with Arduino Pro Micro's running the DaemonBite firmware, and the RPi Pico GP2040 firmware should be similarly great. Both have extremely low latency. The Brook Universal board is another good one. Other than that, I usually just use either a DualShock 3 pad over USB or a wired 360 pad. I also like the iBuffalo SNES pad and Logitech Precision pads.

The NEO2USB is just an Arduino running the DaemonBite firmware. If you (or someone you know) can do basic soldering and can follow a tutorial for loading code onto an Arduino you can DIY an identical adaptor for about a third of the price of the Neo2SD. If you can get access to a 3D printer there are also case designs available for free.

If you can solder (or know someone who can), you could swap out the usb encoder for a Daemonbite and that would give you less than 1ms of input latency.

I'm not sure, I only use it for console controllers, but I would assume so. This GitHub repo has the pinout for arcade sticks: https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder

I had one of those pcbs, the input lag is bad and inconsistent, the build quality it's very cheap, and has no xinput support... Nowadays are better alternatives like Brook Zero-Pi, Tachyon PCB, or DIY stuff like GP2040-CE ( https://github.com/OpenStickFoundation/GP2040-CE ) or DaemonBite ( https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder )

I think they use https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

My third revision of this and looking for feedback to improve. I'm using an secondary USB-C port here to test this schematic before using it on other builds where the Pico placement is constrained by board clearances and mounting holes. The Pico is running GP2040, https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040, which allows the device to work on multiple systems. I'm new to PCB design and have grabbed some examples posted here before and hopefully following guidelines in the wiki.

It might also be worth checking out the pi pico as the brains, though I believe you need a second piece of hardware to make it work on ps4. The pi pico itself should only be 10$~ not sure how much the ps4 adapter thing would cost. The firmware to look into is https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

Hi, does anyone know how to add a PS Home button to your controller? I have a DURAL hitbox which uses GP2040 Firmware (https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040). I was planning on going to an offline event and needed to make my controller PS4 proof for which I was hoping to use a PS3 to PS4 adapter. However I would still need the PS Home button because PS4 is weird. If anyone knows a solution help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft totally does. That's why GP2040, an open source controller firmware, doesn't support Xbox or PS. The way it's typically done now is to have a require a real controller to handle the authentication, with the 3rd party input in between the real controller and the console (passthrough in that chart)
